John Bacon Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 I do not agree that this is different ,in that they have always given away there draft choices. You're right that they have always give away there draft choices. But now they are acquiring draft choices instead of giving them away. This is the first time in at least 40 years that the Leafs have tried to rebuild by acquiring draft choices. Trading away their draft choices for the past forty or so years has not produced good results. Maybe acquiring draft choices will. It won't be this year; but they may eventually have a good team with the draft choices that they acquire. If they continued on the old way then they might make the playoffs once in a while; but they would never go deep into the playoffs. I am willing to wait a few years knowing that there is at least a chance (no guarantee) that they may actually have a really good team when their talent develops.
glen Posted March 2, 2016 Report Posted March 2, 2016 Yes hopfully drafting will work. But the new style of play in the NHL hurts my eyes. The good days are over.
DRIFTER_016 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Posted March 6, 2016 WHEW!!!! That was close!!!! The Marlies almost beat the Sens!!!!
G.mech Posted March 6, 2016 Report Posted March 6, 2016 I actually felt a bit sorry for Phaneuf last night. Right off the opening draw he coughs up the puck and gives up a semi-breakaway 2 seconds into the game...I think maybe his nerves got the better of him. I'm not sure who won the fight but the tribute was kind of nice, notice they never did one for Kessel though.
huzzsaba Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 I am so happy for Reimer. gets a shutout last night and the happiness on his face : Priceless! Will be nice to see him get a second chance at the playoffs this year.
Acountdeleted Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 I hear Reimer shutout and all I can think is the Leafs didn't get fair value in that trade. Its a shame, Reim's is going to be a pretty good backup in SJ. Especially with the goal scoring to help him out when he coughs up 1 or 2 bad ones.
manitoubass2 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Im happy for reimer as well! But hes never gonna be a #1 goaltender unless some fantastic coach can turn him around. He reminds me of triple a goaltenders thinking their dominique hasek.
leaf4 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) I don't mind seeing reimer walk, he's good but needs to stay consistent for a full season before he can be considered a no. 1 Anyone see that polak and nurse scuffle? I would love to see round 2 when polak isn't jumped unsuspecting for hendricks losing an edge, hopefully nurse gets a game or 2, polak didn't even drop the gloves sheesh Edited March 10, 2016 by Lucas F
manitoubass2 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Im liking thia new guy the leafs have that already sniped 2 wicked goals!
DRIFTER_016 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 Im liking thia new guy the leafs have that already sniped 2 wicked goals! Yeah, he's quite the sniper. The kids got a lot of talent. Scored the winner in the shootout tonight too.
muskymatt Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 Wow, 3 days since a post. You guys must really have had it with the laffs. The Sens win is anything but satisfying with the way the season has gone as well. Looks like the laffs will lock up last place so at least you got something out of the season. Hopefully Edmonton doesn't win the lottery this year. Sad state of affair for Canadian hockey when even the laffites won't jump into a little banter.
grimsbylander Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 Yup. Sad day when a Leaf fan is too disinterested to mock the Sens. Oh well, we're right where we should be to give us the 20% shot at first pick. It's going to take a long time to turn this ship around so no use getting hyped up about anything. If Edmonton gets first pick, I'm done forever! Lol

DRIFTER_016 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Posted March 14, 2016 Well they're playing a pretty decent game tonight against the Wings.
Oggie Posted March 14, 2016 Report Posted March 14, 2016 I like their team defense. They haven't had a shutdown defense in my life time. How many games did they blow late inthe third period over the years!

Pretty sad when all a Sens fan has to talk about is the Leafs. The Sens games getting too boring for you Matt? Have to rattle up some entertainment. Whats the difference between the leafs and the sens? One team is getting a really good player in the draft the year.

Actually you guys went from winning the cup at the beginning of the year to bashing them shooting for last place to not saying a single thing. It had me worried the laffites had switch to curling or broomball or something.The Sens if anything are interesting any time they step on the ice either good or bad you never know what to expect lmao. And that draft pick, the laffs will probably trade him for a has been or underachiever if the win a couple back to back games thinking the cup run is on again!!
jimmer Posted March 14, 2016 Report Posted March 14, 2016 The Ballard Curse will have them lose the first choice overall, maybe even the second and third also with the new format. There's always next year Matt!

Please please show me the post that says the Leafs are going to win the cup this year, from anyone in the forum. Unless I really missed something, virtually everyone knew the Leafs were going to have a rough year.
davey buoy Posted March 14, 2016 Report Posted March 14, 2016 Leafs needed to get a couple descent players to build around.Had a chance. But Dave(drifter) said wait for July 1st before giving up. I do not like this whole rebuild again,I have let that be known.Maybe Dave is onto something???????????,don't know,but hope of something is a good thing. They definitely are not going anywhere anytime soon AGAIN
leaf4 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 Whyyyyyyy do they keep winning!! Lol auston Matthews would be a great addition right about now
Acountdeleted Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 My thoughts at 6pm today. Oh good. It's the ducks. There is a loss. Nooooope!
Oggie Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 Babcock is falling into the same trap previous coaches have. Anyone remember the huge winning streaks in past years right after they've been officially eliminated. Any team can play loose as a goose when their is nothing at stake..... Interesting to see the TSN guys try to put a positive spin on this silliness. Can't even tank right! :wallbash: :wallbash:
DRIFTER_016 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 Too good not to share!!! http://www2.tsn.ca/bardown/Story.aspx?Players+vote+Phil+Kessel+most+overrated+player+in+the+NHL&id=576338
